Testing New Gadgets & Meshtastic Power-Up! #shorts
Storing spare parts for upcoming projects. One device powers up, ready for its next life. The other needs a charge, but already has Meshtastic pre-installed.
@w1netradio551 asks about the "Load Terminals" on some solar charge controllers. How does this system work without damaging your station equipment?

Antenna Modeling for Beginners - Ground Mounted Verticals (Part 3)
In this short tutorial we model a ground mounted vertical antenna using the free MMANA-GAL antenna modelling software. This is Part 3 of the Model Your Own Antennas series where we learn how antenna modelling works in simple practical steps.
In this episode we:
• Create a 20m ground mounted vertical
• Define the antenna using X, Y and Z coordinates
• Run the far-field calculation
• Compare the elevation pattern to the inverted-V from the previous episode
Vertical antennas produce a low take-off angle, which is why they are often used for DX communication.

Join us for a quick look at ham radio on the road, discussing some ham radio basics while driving on the highway. We’ll be using ALLSTAR, exploring its capabilities for amateur radio communication. This ham radio review covers our quick road trip setup.

Thanks to Kyle, W0AAV for this one. Kyle just got his M1KE and has a few setup and connection questions. I figured this might help a few other SharkRF M1KE owners out there.

Sync WSJT-X, GridTracker, & RUMlogNG For Auto Logging
I have finally figured out how to sync contacts between WSJT-X, Gridtracker, & RUMlogNG. For all these years I’ve been manually importing my FT8 contacts into RUMlogNG. I knew there was a way to have it automatically do it, but the RUMlogNG manual wasn’t much help. So, thanks go our AI overlords at Google, I figured out how to do it and I thought I’d share it. I also figured out how to import an ADIF into WSJT-X so you can add any missing contacts into it and have Gridtracker show all of your grids on the beautiful map!
